Her voice became tender soon, "Rachael, I know you worry about my health. I'm fine. I can't let Marlon handle everything for me. He has many things to deal with. He will be tired."
"Alicia, you should have a good rest these days!" Marlon suddenly said to her.
Alicia's eyes widened in surprise. She tried to say something. Marlon said, "I will take charge of this project!"
"Marlon!" It was unbelievable and Alicia looked at Marlon in surprise.
"I'll have someone send you back!" Marlon called the driver to send Alicia back. His voice was even colder than before. No one could disobey him.
To be honest, not only Alicia, but I was surprised. I don't know if it was an illusion. I felt that Marlon was quite easygoing today.
"Well. Marlon, remember to have a rest. If you can't manage all this, do tell me!" Alicia was unwilling to leave, but she could only smile and said this to Marlon.
Marlon nodded. Alicia was reluctant to part with him said a lot. Finally, she walked up to me and said, "Rachael, Marlon is very busy. There are many things you can come to discuss with me."
Alicia's eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. I know that if it weren't for Marlon, Alicia would have slapped me in the face. Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance today.
I smiled, "Alicia, have a good rest. Nothing is more important than you and your baby. You don't have to worry. Leave this project to me and Marlon." I intentionally stressed the last three words. I clearly saw Alicia's expression change, but she had to keep up her image since Marlon was here. Thus, she could only leave with a smile.
Alicia left and closed the door. Only Marlon and I were in the office. Suddenly, it was very quiet.
Kieran said that his ultimate goal was to let Marlon fall in love with me, and it was also my ultimate goal. Only if he fell in love with me can I give my baby an intact family, and can I let Alicia feel all the despair I had experienced back then.
However, how to make Marlon fall in love with me!
I had thought about this question for a long time, but I still haven't figured it out. However, there's one thing for sure. I shouldn't be like before. I used to follow his steps and love him deeply without letting him know, wishing to get a little reward from him. That old way didn't work.
Now, I wouldn't lower myself to Marlon. If I trample my dignity into the soil, Marlon would despise me even more, and Alicia would also laugh at me.
I must regard myself as equal to Marlon.
I thought I was smart. No. The fact was that I deceived myself that Marlon didn't know I loved him so deeply, so I kept concealing my love. I was even more ridiculous and more miserable than a clown.
Therefore, before there is any obvious change in Marlon's attitude towards me, I should treat him like a friend. I have to stay at an apt distance to him.
Thoughts quickly flew into my brain and I thought it was quite ridiculous. Regardless of all the despair and pains I had suffered, I still loved Marlon so deeply. Otherwise, I would not love the child in my belly so much. But now, the pure love I had for him was gone. From now on, I can no longer let myself be dominated by that. I must rationally consider my relationship with Marlon.
Marlon, Alicia, and I were like three players in a game. If I win, then I could be with Marlon. If I lose this time, then I would never have a chance to have a turnaround.
Thinking of the fact that love should be won with wisdom and controlled by rationality, rather than emotions, I felt really sad since love was no longer a pure emotion between two lovers.
